He's talking about xkill the icon on the desktop that lets you kill
a specific application by clicking on it. Very handy when netscape dies
(yes I'm running Netscape in this distribution, it's a well guarded
secret as to how <g>).
However, this does little good in your situation.
Ctrl+Option(Alt)+Delete works just fine for me. I think your keyboard
layout is messed up. Try changing:
Option "XkbRules" "xfreex86"
to
Option "XkbRules" "macintosh"
I was having some weird behavior on mine before I did this.
However, I have yet to figure out how to switch virtual terminals. From
what I've heard it uses the Command(apple) key which I have remapped to
a mouse button. So that may be why I can't get it to work.
